I don't think I can but I'll double check. My camera is a slightly more
advanced webcam so it hasn't got a lot of features.

less problematic.

I stufed THREE cards on an Olympus C-40 when I put in new batteries without
switching the camera off first. These cards could not be reformatted in any
of my Olympus cameras, or by using the PCI smartmedia card adaptor in my
laptop.
